VINTAGE 1954 GILT ROLEX TURN-O-GRAPH 6202 ORIGINAL BOX/GUARANTEE PAPER 1950's

Description: I am unaware of another 6202 with box and papers available for sale in the world right now. This watch is in fantastic original condition and probably as rare a piece as you will find on eBay right now. Original dial, hands, and bezel lume still test positive for radiation present. Free overnight Fedex. Original Men’s Rolex Oyster Perpetual Turn-O-Graph N°7206 Rivet Link Automatic Sweep Centre Seconds Red Depth Rating Stainless Steel Watch ref. 6202, made in 1954. The watch is in a fully working order and is in good ORIGINAL vintage condition. I had the watch case, movement, dial and hands inspected by a certified Rolex CW21 watchmaker. It is all original. I added a jubilee bracelet correct for the period, with the folded jubilee links and open end links. Big crown buckle has a larger 1960's date on the blade of the clasp. In 1954 Rolex launched the turn-o-graph. The Turn-O-Graph was the first series-produced by Rolex to feature a rotating bezel. It was intended as a more affordable chronograph wristwatch, the chronograph being the revolving bezel: by setting the zero mark at the minute hand’s position, one can subsequently read the elapsed minutes on the bezel. This was a very simple and ingenious solution, but competition from the Submariner and the advent of the GMT in 1954 – both models presenting a similar revolving bezel which could be used in the same way – decreed the quick demise of the turn-o-graph which, with a lifespan of about three year from 53 to 56, is among the shortest-lived product lines in the history of the company, and thus one of the scarcest and most collectible. A beautiful revolved bidirectional bezel monted on the 36mm (1,41 inch) stainless steel case, excluding the crown and 44mm (1,73 inch) from lug to lug is ORIGINAL and in excellent vintage condition, with surface scratches that are to be expected on any watch of this age. The case as well presents interesting details, such as the perfectly preserved Brevet designation engraved between the lugs, and the matching brevet crown with the cross. The winding winding crown is original Rolex and correctly signed with the famous “Rolex” logo together with Brevet designation with the cross. New Old Stock Rolex glass added by the Rolex watchmaker. Please see photos for more detail. Additional photos can be sent at request.
